Estate Agency

By recruiting the best people, we believe that we have one of the most efficient and productive networks of estate agencies in the UK. Our reputation in our field is outstanding which is why we attract high-calibre candidates, keen to grow with the company and benefit from our excellent training and development opportunities.

Romans Estate Agents has been successfully selling properties for over 30 years, we've grown from a single estate agent in Bracknell to a 29 branch network across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey. We've been awarded the South East's Estate Agency of the Year three times in a row, which is testament to the staff that we employ.

Aged 29, Daniel Collis is Romans’ youngest senior manager. In 2015 he was promoted to Senior Manager and now oversees the agency’s prestigious sales offices in Sunningdale and Crowthorne. Find out how he did it, read the full article >.

Lettings Agency

Our Lettings team has proven itself to be one of the region's finest; regularly claiming awards, with recent titles including Best Letting Agency in the South East 2015, and Best Letting Agency in the South East 2013, at the Estate Agency of the Year Awards.

Lettings is a growing area – we annually let over 4,500 homes in the South East of England and provide a variety of services to landlords in the UK and overseas – which is why we regularly post employment opportunities for all levels.

As experienced members of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) we take the training of our new staff very seriously with qualifications and career development offered in roles such as Lettings Consultant, Lettings Coordinator and Property Management.

“I like the diversity of working for the Romans Group. In Lettings, I'm always out and about on viewings, appointments or valuing a house and meeting new people. The team is really good as well - the bunch of people that I work with are really nice."

Surveyors and Valuers

Romans Surveyors and Valuers are approved valuers for the majority of UK lending institutions and advise clients on both residential and commercial property. We also undertake valuations for loan security purposes on all types of property throughout the South East of England and advise on the acquisition and disposal of commercial property.

Rent reviews, lease renewals and the provision of expert evidence in valuation disputes are also in our remit, making this an interesting and engaging department to work in.

“The main aspect that I enjoy about Romans is the freedom to progress your career - if you have the ability and desire, then the management team back you all the way.

Boyer

Boyer are the Town Planning arm of the group, which has developed an enviable reputation for professional planning advice. Working from five regional offices extending across the southern half of the UK, from Cardiff in the west to Colchester in the east, we help clients to successfully negotiate the planning system in the development process, thereby avoiding unnecessary delays, costs and frustration.

If you were to join our experienced Planning team you would be able to draw on a wealth of support from individuals who have vast knowledge in this area, and be able to take advantage of a variety of training and development opportunities.

“My experience, echoed by that of others within the company, is clear indication of a preference to develop and promote staff from within the team where possible. For example, I was able to take advantage of management training in preparation for taking on greater levels of responsibility within the Colchester office. Business coaching on a 1-2-1 basis has also assisted me in making this transition."

Land and New Homes

This department monitors the progress of development proposals until the details are firmly established. Our highly experienced Land Agents search the region to identify sites with development potential, working alongside landowners, planners and architects to set up a suitable scheme.

Working in close conjunction with Boyer and New Homes is vital for the successful delivery of projects, which in turn enables our staff to gain a detailed and varied knowledge of the property sector as part of their day-to-day role.

“It makes it very worthwhile at the very end, when you get to hand over the keys to their new home and you get to share that moment with them. I'd say that's my favourite part of the job."

Auctions

Over the last decade, auctions have become a mainstream method of buying property. Romans Auctions are one of the country’s leading regional auctioneers covering the South and South East of England. Our Auctions team are always on hand to provide support to both experienced and first-time buyers.

We firmly believe in a transparent approach to all dealings with our customers and we pride ourselves on providing a professional and innovative a service.

“I enjoy working for the Romans Group because I'm passionate about my job as an auctioneer and the company gives me the tools, infrastructure and the support to excel at my job. I also get to work with some wonderful people on a daily basis."
